Hey Karfer,

really like the tire combo. someone needs to bring back the spaceliner frame design and build these. great stance and cool to see you are not afraid to ride it!!

Thanks for the compliments.
I hope the tire combo and stance are a bit unique.
It Would be cool to see spaceliners come back.
I love riding it! That's the icing on the cake!
I enjoyed seeing the pics of you riding your RBBoff6 bike too

Hey Skipton,

Thanks Man! I'm glad your liking the pics.
It's been really nice this weekend for them.
Can't wait to see some Lake MI shots of yours.

I got out to Bearded Lady.
Lots of really cool MCs and some bikes.
I found Beau and got some shots of his Board Tracker
I'll post his on his thread and post the others on "events" soon.



My knees had a stern talk with me after try to navigate through the crowd at BL.
and the 20 miler Friday.
I had to listen to them so I put a 16 tooth gear in the rear.
The 52/16 is much better. Not as fast put I don't have to crawl from a stop.

Took a nice ride to the river today so here's a couple more.




The sun was getting low so it was hard to find sunny spots




The one really great thing about going to 52/16, is that it's much easier to no handed again





Here is my goofy attempt to steal Socrates idea to put the "space" in spaceliner.





I'm saving some of the other sunny shots for "done" post
It will be there soon...

Great build, and an enjoyable read. I like the "track testing" and the ride photos. It's inspirational to see a custom bike actually getting used as transportation.

There's going to be a "deep V" wheel set in my future...

Hey Designit,

I'm sorry I haven't looked here for quite a while.

Thanks for the compliments.
I now know that you also ride your the heck out of your bikes too.
Good to see it.
Keep me posted on any new projects

I'm glad you got a kick out of the picture
Thanks a bunch for the compliments

I've missed discussing your Hawthorne "Viscount"
How is it going? I had to buy one now too
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=43740
I'm using yours and my wife's as models



I would like to really thank all the people that used a vote for the Hot Rod Liner
I'm totally surprised, considering how hard it was to chose for my top three.
There were many more talented people that worked much harder than me
Maybe I made up for my building skills with my obsessive need to ride and photo
Hopefully people enjoyed a taste of bike life in Mpls
I think my biggest thrill was to share with everybody how fun a Mpls summer can be

Here is a few more pictures that I haven't posted yet

This is a fountain by Lake Harriet's Rose Garden
I was trying to get it set up when I saw a bunch of kids come tearing through the garden
I balanced it and it fell and they were getting closer and louder but I grabbed the shot




As they tore through, screaming and laughing,
the mother of the B day girl said "Hi" with a bit of panic in her voice
as she was trying to contain them (not likely)

Here is another fountain across the garden that they all decided to jump in and go crazy
The mother says "maybe I shouldn't let them do that..."
I said "as long as no one drowns, it's all good"
No getting this shot without people



Sorry if I don't get back here much
Thanks for looking




Thanks
